ews About Books
From the Library
By MISS HELEN WEBSTER
Medford Librarian
Now that Christmas has at
last arrived, you're entitled to
take it easy for an hour or two.
Why don't you slip those tired
shoppers' feet into the new slip
pers and curl up with something
light and easy to read?
' Something like the New
Yorker magazine's delight f u 1
1950-1955 album of cartoons, for
instance. There's a chuckle on
every page. Or pick up that big
gest and funniest collection of
international wit, the "Cartoon
Treasury," edited by Lucy (and
Dyke Johnson. Or for a taste of
playful British wit, there's the
even newer collection of car
toons from "Punch."
Humorous Side
The humorous side of jobs,
myopia, New Year's Eve celebra
tions that fizzled, flying lessons,
and matchmaking are sample
subjects of chapters in Hilde
garde Dolson's "Sorry to Be So
Cheerful." Emily Kimbrough, in
her inimitable, witty style, con
veys humorously and vividly the
pleasures and pitfalls of being
a tourist in "So Near and Yet So
Far," as she jauntily explores
the by-ways of Louisiana.
Animal-collecting adventures,
with amusingly pointed charac
terizations of both human and
animal associates fill Gerald
Durrell's "Three Tickets to Ad
venture, continuing the exploits
and fun of "The Bafut Beagles"
and "The Overloaded Ark." Less
polite and more sophisticated en
tertainment is afforded in
"Auntie Mame; an irreverent es
capade in biography," by Pat
rick Dennis, pseud.
Family Life
Elizabeth Cadell's latest book,
"The Lark Shall Sing," is a
warm, humorous comedy ro
mance in which a family with
little money acts to save the old
household. "Papa's Wife," by
Thyra Bjorn is another portrait
of wholesome family life that
is full of warmth and humor and
Christmas feeling. "Sunday's
Children," a memoir by James
Knox of his childhood as a min
ister's son is another delightful
and thoroughly real picture of
family life, full of warmth and
dry humor.
We might suggest several oth
er books that combine pleasant,
easy reading with themes of
more significance, instances of
the Christmas spirit at work in
human living.
More Serious Books
One of these is Frank Baker's
"Nearer to Heaven," the story
of a vicar of a poor and rural
parish in England who is told
that because of a heart ailment
he has a year to live, how he
faces that news, and becomes his
true self. Jo Sinclair's "The
Changelings" probes deeply and
meaningfully into racial preju
dice in its portrait of a delight
ful gallery of people. "The Lost
Sheep," by the distinguished
French novelist, is-the story of
humility, forgiveness, and a mir
acle in the hearts of mountain
villagers.
All. these books are at the
Medford Public Library.
